Ernst & Young London headquarters‎

Ernst & Young is one of the largest professional services firms in the world and one of the Big Four accountancy firms.

Just four accounting firms – PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Deloitte & Touche and Ernst & Young – audit 97% of FTSE 350 companies.[1] Although their might is being challenged by mid-tier firms such as Grant Thornton.[2]

In February 2013 Ernst & Young was recognised as 'the UK’s strongest accounting and business brand in the influential Superbrands annual league table for 2013'. [3]

Tax avoidance

The Big Four accountancy firms were behind almost half of all known [tax] avoidance schemes, the Revenue (HMRC) said in 2006.[4]
